<1>The first seal ()
or truth, is the necessity of awakening the spiritual forces, which
are latent in the human. This can be done through many techniques,
teachings, knowledge, and all other techniques or exercises which
help in awakening the spiritual forces. The most important of all is
the
Grace of the Lord (and
spiritual teacher,
which should be the same). <2>Also other things, such as
contemplation,
meditation, prayer,
exercises, etc., are important.

<3>These techniques and teachings, however, are
not the ultimate in the sense of guiding a person to
Pure
Consciousness. Further knowledge and steps are necessary which
will be described in the next six seals. <4>Following only
this seal can result in escapism, which
God
does not like. <5>This seal can be called the
Mystical Paths.

THE SECOND SEAL

<6>The next step is to realize that a proper
environment is necessary in which the physiological and safety needs
of the person are provided and the disturbing things (physically,
mentally, and spiritually) are eliminated.
<7>This sentient environment is needed before a person is
able to start to meditate and/or practice the techniques to awaken
his spiritual forces, or even to start to read, have time and enough
concentration to become familiar with these things.

<8>So a proper environment is a must and
<9>this can start from creating a Kingdom of
Heaven in one's home, then community, city, country, and
eventually the world. <10>Then the Kingdom of
Heaven ()
On Earth will be established (realized) and all can pursue physical,
mental, and spiritual progress.

THE THIRD SEAL

<11>To create such an environment,
sacrifice is
necessary. Greed and
self-centeredness
are the cause of all problems of humanity. So only by understanding
this truth and creating the spirit of
sacrifice -- not
being self-centered ()
-- can the Kingdom of
God
be recognized ()
on earth as it is in
heaven.

<12>However, sacrificing and selflessness should
start from the top of the society (the leaders). Otherwise the mass
will be exploited through their
sacrifices and a few will take advantage of these
sacrifices for their own selfish desires.

THE FOURTH SEAL

<13>To be attached to one's merits or good
actions (sacrifices)
is an obstacle in spiritual progress. So good should be done and the
results should be surrendered to
God or thrown away to the
universe to be used for the progress of others ().

<14>Even greater than
surrendering is
submission to Him.
That is, to become a
channel for His
Divine
actions to be done through us.
<15>In
surrendering, there is still
an "I" which exists as one who surrenders, and the surrenderer is
different from the one who is surrendered to. <16>But when a
person becomes a
channel for His
Divine
actions, then no separation exists and the surrenderer, the
thing being surrendered, and the one being surrendered to, become
one. <17>This state is called the state of renunciation, when
the "I" and all things related to it are no more.

THE FIFTH SEAL

<18>Also, in order for a person to free himself
from all
narrowness
of the mind and bondage related to it, he should become a
universalist ().
Any "ism" other than
universalism
will result in narrowness, and this again will bring suffering. So
the ideal is to work and help to create the Kingdom of
Heaven so that the whole universe can progress toward the
goal, not just a few or a small portion of the universe. <19>Otherwise
we are not following the Will of
God and our awakened
spiritual forces,
sacrifices, and
submission are
narrow, so they will bring suffering, because they are not according
to the spirit of
God, which is to see the
whole universe reach
Pure
Consciousness.

THE SIXTH SEAL

<20>With awakening the spiritual forces (),
longing for a spiritual environment (),
and selflessly ()
working to create such an environment, and by being detached from
the results of these endeavors and becoming submissive to Him (),
with a universal point of view ()
for all, a person can be(come) a dynamic being, free from any
narrowness of mind or bondages from his actions. <21>With the
use of the acquired powers through his spiritual progress, he will
work to establish the Kingdom of
God
in the universe and help others also to understand this true path of
salvation.

<22>Such a person can be called a Paravipra ().
Only these people can be(come) the
true leaders
of humanity, and by their examples help all to progress and reach
Pure
Consciousness. Otherwise there will always be suffering, strife,
and class wars.
